About Buxted CofE Primary School

Buxted CofE Primary School is a state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with a Church of England character, located in the Wealden borough of East Sussex. The school currently has 191 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, meaning it is not full to the brim but still in healthy demand. That demand is clear from the admissions data for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 56 applications for 28 places, making it oversubscribed by a ratio of 2:1. Of those 56 applicants, 19 were first-preference choices, and all 19 were offered a place. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 11%, which is worth noting against the national primary average of around 23% — so the school serves a less deprived intake than many. The headteacher is Karen Head, and the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2023, confirmed that it remains Good.
